Upgraded the 316i LUX....

Post Sat Dec 17, 2005 6:59 pm

Well after 9 excellent months and 8,000 fun packed miles I decided it was time to upgrade the rather ropey 316i LUX I had bought as a run around (not realising how much E30-fever was going to get under my skin!) - so about 2 months ago the search began for a clean unmolested 325i Touring and today that search ended! Got myself a 1988 325i Touring with FULL BMW and specialist history and an absolute massive wodge of history to verify its rather leggy but by no means terrible 154,500 miles.... To say I am chuffed is an understatement! Lets just say the price was "very reasonable!"

Did 150 miles to get it home and it preformed faultlessly.... looking forward to many more smiles per mile and now the modifying begins!

So what do you think?!

Looks good as is but a set of Red rears,colour coded sills and rear valance along with what stevetigger said and it will look 10 times better!

No idea what you are on about mate!

Plan is to fit the 14" BBS cross spokes from my LUX - H&R Cup Kit - iS lip spoiler and thats about it for now - just enjoying it is the main thing!

Odd front lights, drivers side has a smiley and the other is not!!
Strange, I would check for accident damage!

Deffo no accident damage on this one - but I see what you mean about the lights - hadnt even noticed myself!

Still - I am more than chuffed with it!
